LEGO Day participants were tasked with creating a catapult with LEGOs.

This young engineer is deeply concentrating as she designs her catapult.

Some of the LEGO Day participants pose with their finished catapults, loaded with marshmallows and ready to test.

The MJB Library hosted LEGO Day on Nov. 12.

This project is a challenge but one that the LEGO builders enjoyed.
